Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As a mum of two, I know only too well the impact that becoming a parent can have on mental health.

Currently my 10 week old daughter sleeps nowhere but on me whilst walking. So I thought I would give these walks a purpose and raise some money for a maternal mental health charity to support parents experiencing difficulties themselves. My aim is to walk 100 miles over the course of May 2025.

The PANDAS Foundation supports individuals and families affected by perinatal mental health issues, including prenatal and postnatal depression, anxiety, and other related conditions. They offer free, accessible services such as a helpline, email support, peer support groups, and information resources. The foundation aims to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and ensure no parent feels alone in their struggles. PANDAS also provides training for healthcare professionals to better recognize and support mental health challenges during and after pregnancy. Their mission is to provide hope and empathy, empowering those affected to seek help and begin recovery.
